Beginnings of Nirma In 1969, while still employed, Karsanbhai started making handmade quality detergent in his home as a means to earn some side income Naming it Nirma after his daughter, Nirupama, it was run as a one-man enterprise utilizing indigenous technology for product creation He would bicycle through the local neighborhoods to sell the detergent on the way to work

Beginnings of Nirma Most detergents at the time were priced at around Rs. 13/kg. Nirma was priced at Rs. 3/kg Nirma was an instant success in the local neighborhoods and offered great value as a high quality product for a low price After three years of reaping profits, Karsanbhai left his job and set up a small workshop in a suburb of Ahmedabad

Nirma Revolution Nirma revolutionized the detergent market which had been dominated by big multi- national, billion dollar companies such as Hindustan Lever and Proctor & Gamble Effectively targeted low-income families – a large class of society that had been ignored by established companies Within a decade, Nirma became the largest selling detergent in India

Nirma and Society Nirma was made of an innovative formula which was phosphate-free and deemed environmentally friendly. Since the process of manufacturing Nirma detergent was labour intensive, they became a leading employer in India. Currently, Nirma employs over 14,000 individuals
